Human Kindness =)

this morning as i drove into the Don Mills subway station parking... i was totally blown away at the kindness of 1 man.

i had checked the night before that i needed to pay $3 for the subway parking.. which was cool...i really thought i had enough change.and if not, that there would be parking attendants who would be able to exchange money for a 20 or smthg... but much to my dismay, i opened my wallet yesterday morning with my car put in park mode, and discovered i only had $1.75, which included 3 quarters... i looked at the coin machine and they only accept loonies and twoonies.. o_O

i start to freak... nothing's open at 7:45 in the morning where i can get change without being extremely late for work in downtown toronto... i glance frantically at my rear-view mirror to see if there are any cars following me... whew...none yet... and i search my car for any loose change...still nothing... oh crap...

this one 30-smthg year old azn guy drives next to me, i kinda stare at him... not on purpose..but i think i had this really stressed out look on my face... he started saying something to me so i rolled down my windows... and he asked if i needed change...i said yes... then he said that he would put his money in first and then park his car and come over to help me.... meanwhile..the cars are starting to pile behind me... i'm actually really surprised no one honked their horn at me... such patience.. =)

he walked over and asked how much i needed and he gave me 2 bucks... i thanked him over an over and he walked back to his car... wow... i know it prolly doesn't seem like a lot to most people...but to me, i was just so amazed at this one stranger's kindness... asking nothing in return.. just a simple act of kindness... i know many people prolly just wouldn't care and just proceed to park after paying their fare, espeically that early in the morning on their way to work...

this one stranger's simple action reminds me of how much God loves me. unconditional love.

the little things in life do matter... i'm pretty sure this 1 guy didn't know how much his 2 bucks meant to me.... i barely even remember what he looks like anymore... but yeah... he didn't even hesitate to help out. wattta dude haha... much respect to this stranger.
